Villarreal star Francis Coquelin has taken aim at Sir Alex Ferguson after the former Manchester United manager wrote off the midfielder during his time at Arsenal.
Coquelin is preparing to face Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final this week, with Villarreal having proven to be the surprise package of this season’s competition. The Spanish side have knocked out Juventus and Bayern Munich on their way to the last four.
Their latest European run comes after they beat United in last season’s Europa League final to secure a spot in the Champions League. The Yellow Submarine beat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side on penalties as manager Unai Emery continued his impressive record in the competition.
